Prayer 5

May the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable to You,

O Lord,

my rock and my redeemer.

 

May my words,

though filled with sadness,

bring You glory.

 

May my heart,

though broken,

bring You delight.

 

May my eyes be fixed

ever on Your throne,

and my song be,

“Holy, Holy, Holy!”

 

May the depths of my soul

praise Your Name alone

and the joy of my spirit

cling only to the cross

 

When my steps fall wayward

and the path I follow is crooked

use Your staff and rod

to bring me back and lead me
